Bricklayers in Buxted
Brickwork for Buxted's small village
Looking for a bricklayer in Buxted? Bradford Brickwork works on historic and modern properties in this small Wealden village, just minutes from our base in Maresfield.
Buxted is a village in Wealden district on the Uckfield side of our patch. Its oldest church, St Margaret the Queen, built in 1250, stands in Buxted Park, apart from the village. That is because the village itself moved to its present site in the early 1800s. Most homes are therefore 19th-century or later, with a few older farmhouses around the edges.

Local building character
Buxted's village setting near Ashdown Forest
Buxted takes its name from the Saxon for a place of beeches. Its early wealth came from iron. The first standard blast furnace, Queenstock, was built in the parish in about 1491. In 1543 Ralf Hogge cast the first cast-iron cannon made in England at a furnace on the stream at Hoggets Farm, towards Hadlow Down.
The village you see today is younger than you might think. In the early 19th century Lord Liverpool extended Buxted Park, and the old village around the church was cleared. By 1836 it had moved to its present site. Some outlying houses are older, such as Britts, a 17th-century farmhouse, while the church of St Margaret the Queen was left standing in the park. The village church, St Mary the Virgin, followed in 1887.
For brickwork, that means a village of mostly 19th and 20th-century brick houses, with a handful of much older farmhouses nearby. Repairs on the newer homes are usually repointing, chimney stacks and front walls. On the older farmhouses we take more care to match old bricks and mortar colour.

Repointing to gable and chimney.
A great job repointing the gable and chimney. Some of the bricks to the chimney needed replacing too. This was the second time of using Bradford Brickwork and as before we were very impressed. All work was completed on time despite a sudden downpour and the result looks great. Thanks very much!
Re-pointing front of Victorian house
Exceptionally high quality re-pointing work on front of Victorian house with lime mortar. The tradesmen were highly skilled and experienced and friendly and communicative. Highly recommended.
Repointing
Work was completed in a timely manner. I was happy with the quality of work and the fact that the site was kept tidy. If I have any more suitable work I will use them again.
Repointing
This was our first experience of having a wall repointed, but we needn't have worried. The team were friendly, polite and professional. Communication was good and they arrived and completed on time.
They did a great job and the wall looks great. I would certainly use Bradford Brickwork again.
Construction of retaining wall
Bradford Brickwork built a retaining wall in our garden, installing footings and a reinforced block wall to our engineer’s drawings. The team were very professional, extremely polite and they did an excellent job, completing the work on time and leaving the site in good order and I would recommend them to anyone with confidence.
Garden and patio redesign
Matt was able to discuss our patio and garden plans with us and and put them in to reality.
The end result is everything we had hoped for, we're really pleased with the result. We now have an eye-catching low maintenance garden.
We also had the house wall repointed.
Brick soldier course for lintel above window
Looked at pics and assessed the job, came to quote. Saw that it was urgent, as my replacement window couldn’t be fitted as the lintel was close to collapse. Matt booked in the job for the next day and 2 of his guys did the work. All very professional.
Superb Brickwork, Highly Recommended
The brickwork on our new‑build barn‑annex, including the chimney stack and a one‑metre perimeter wall, was completed to a superb standard. The team kept the site consistently tidy, worked with real pride, and showed genuine passion for the craft. Everyone was polite, respectful, and easy to deal with, making the whole process smooth from start to finish. Highly recommended for reliable, quality brickwork.
FAQs
Brickwork questions from Buxted
My Buxted house is older than its neighbours. Can you match the brick?
Yes. Most of the village dates from after it moved in the early 1800s, but some farmhouses nearby are older. We match the size, colour and texture of your bricks and the mortar colour, using reclaimed bricks where new ones would stand out.
Was Buxted really an iron-making village?
Yes. The parish had one of the first blast furnaces, Queenstock, from about 1491, and England’s first cast-iron cannon was cast nearby in 1543. Today it is a quiet village, and the brickwork we do here is mostly on homes, walls and chimneys.
How close is Buxted to Maresfield?
Very close. Buxted is only a few miles from our base in Maresfield, so we can usually arrange a free site visit quickly.
